If you haven't read Rick's book, License to Pawn, it's actually a pretty good read. The story of how hard they had to work to get their pawn license and of Rick's childhood epilepsy were very interesting.

I don't begrudge Rick any of his success because he worked his butt off for it, including the TV show. That said, I'll probably be deleting my season pass for it.

What grinds my gears on reality TV is the constant repetition where they cut to the "post real" interview where the "star" is talking to someone off camera (WHY?) and repeating what you just saw happen.

I don't begrudge Rick's success either. But Chumlee getting a reported $25K per episode is ridiculous. He (or his character) is one of the reasons I am probably going to stop watching.

I know Chumlee has a cult following. And I know somewhere there is someone trying to figure out how to spin him off onto his own show. But I don't get Honey Boo Boo or Duck Dynasty either.

I just watched an old episode from 2009. One thing that's always bugged me is the holiday episodes. One of the things that always bugged me was the holiday episodes. It's insulting try to tell us that these things aren't scripted when they show the holiday episodes and you know they had to be shot well in advance.

Well this was the Christmas episode. But they got sloppy. During the big gift exchange scene, right next to the old man's desk is a calendar. It's shown multiple times. And it's clear as day that the calendar shows October on it.

Sloppy and insulting.

You assume the desk calendar is kept up to date. I've got a desk calendar that still shows sometime in March. I just stopped bothering with it.

Who is the ****** in the new ads, and how much would Rick give him for his 80's girl boots? All the language I have seen on this site the word for feminine cleaning product gets censored?? Murray would be appalled (the little ferret)

My visit to the shop left me with the impression that they film in the morning before the shop opens. The window which is supposed to be open for overnight deals was actually closed and they tried to cover it as some people were trying to take photos of them through the windows even though the sign asks that you don't. I'm sure their flash gave them pictures of themselves taking a picture.

The shop was mostly show merchandise and when I was there it was mostly chumlee stuff which wasn't selling. I recognized some items from the show. The guy with the dream team hockey stick was there as well as the handwriting expert for that season. They were roped off while they did close ups of the signatures on the stick. The old man who we could see through the 24 Hour window before the doors opened as well as the others were no where to be found.
